 Conventional PWM Inverter

Ø Wide applications - Circuit simplicity and

rugged control scheme.
Ø
Ø High-frequency (HF) operation increases its
switching stress.
Ø
Ø Limitation to increase the switching frequency -
Switching losses.
Ø
Ø Significant turn-on losses in the active
switches.
Ø
Ø Input DC source : PWM inverter is fixed DC but
not a controlled one.
Ø

Feature of proposed Inverter
Ø Reduce the voltage stress to the dc link voltage.
Ø
Ø Soft switching is implemented even with higher
frequency .
Ø
Ø The soft switching for all power factor conditions is
achieved by modifying the carrier for reactive
power-flow conditions.
Ø
Ø All the switches turn-on with zero voltage and the
turn-off losses are reduced by lossless capacitive
snubber.
Ø
Ø During reverse recovery, the di/dt is controlled by the
resonant inductor.
Features of Proposed converter

Ø The switch voltage is clamped to the dc link

voltage.
Ø
Ø PWM schemes can be used to control the
inverter output voltage.


Ø The PWM modulation scheme is used to obtain

optimum system performance and to
achieve ZVS at different power factor
loads.
Ø
Ø It is widely used in variable dc link inverter for
improvement of total harmonic distortion
to a minimum level.
RESONANT SWITCH IMPLEMENTATION
Zero Voltage Switching Overview
Ø Conventional square wave power conversion
during the switch's on-time with "resonant"
switching transitions.
Ø
Ø For a given unit of ton, this method is similar
to fixed frequency conversion which uses an
adjustable duty cycle.
Ø
Ø Regulation of the output voltage is
accomplished by adjusting the effective
duty cycle.
Ø
Ø The foundation of this conversion is simply
the volt-second product equating of the
input and output.
